    Summary

    To survive, she learned how to become invisible. To live, Simon Riley had to become a monster.

    When their worlds collide, he doesn’t rescue her—he consumes her. Simon offers shelter forged from iron and obsession, an all-encompassing presence that drowns out the rest of the world. As the walls of his “protection” close in, she is forced to confront a harrowing realization: some prisons don’t just feel like safety. They feel like love.

    Summary

    Conrad hung his head, ending the call with a sharp tap before the silence could stretch any further. His heart was still pounding, a restless thud that refused to settle. To say he was shocked to hear Belly’s voice when she answered his brother’s phone would have been an understatement.

    But hearing her voice now—soft, startled, real—split something open in him he thought he’d long since buried. The thought alone sent a warm flush through his body and heat stirred low in his belly, unbidden and insistent.

    Would it be weird—the question gnawed at him as his pulse quickened—to touch myself while thinking of her?

    Summary

    After a shipwreck leaves them stranded on a deserted island, Belly and Conrad find solace in each other, forging a bond between them as powerful and untameable as the sea itself.

    Their eventual rescue is a miracle, but it comes with a price: returning to their old lives and pretending their time alone never happened. It turns out, the greatest challenge wasn't surviving the island—it's surviving each other in a world that has already written their story. What happens when the greatest threat to their survival is no longer the sea, but the truth?

    This story is AU and meant to fit in some time during Season 3 just before Belly's Bachelorette party.

    Summary

    The passing days are as ordinary as they can get. So ordinary it verges on madness, because Conrad truly acts like nothing ever happened. Which is a good thing, and it isn’t.

    Having the guy she cheated on her fiancé with weigh in on what shade of pink works best for the peonies on the aisle kind of triggers her fight or flight response.

    Having the guy who bent her over the sink and called her a whore in her mind make her burnt pancakes every morning is, objectively, kind of weird.
